O.R.k. SHARE NEW SINGLE ‘16000 DAYS’
27th February 2025The new single from O.R.k is out today. The track, titled ‘16000 Days’ is the final single to be released from the band’s highly anticipated new album Firehose Of Falsehoods, out 21st March on Kscope. The band kicked off a new wave of activity back in October 2024 with the single Blast Of Silence, and since then have released 4 more singles – PUTFP, Mask Becomes The Face, The Other Side and today’s 16000 Days.
Speaking on the new single, bassist and songwriter Colin Edwin shared “16000 Days is a song for anyone who has reached a significant life milestone and still feels as full of unanswered questions as they did as a small child. It’s the closest O.R.k. have ever come to a self-help song and I am fairly sure the sentiment is universal.”STREAM/DOWNLOAD 16000 DAYS

Firehose of Falsehoods continues the journey that O.R.k started with 2015’s debut Inflamed Rides and carried forward through their previous albums Soul Of An Octopus (2017), Ramagehead (2019) and Screamnasium (2022). Often exploring themes of tension, redemption, and the human condition, their latest release is an ambitious exploration of the inexpressible. Vocalist Esposito Fornasari states “We live in a world where it’s increasingly difficult to know the truth, so naming the album Firehose of Falsehoods was meant to intentionally reference something completely opposite to the sincerity we try to express in our music and lyrics.”
The cover image designed by acclaimed Marvel/DC comics illustrator Denis Rodier also expresses an ambiguity. Are the tentacles representative of some evil and unseen creature enveloping us in propaganda? …or is the creature a hidden but heroic being, reaching out to crush the loudspeakers and free us from false narratives.
O.R.k have an eagerly awaited run of shows coming up in 2025 including a run of headline UK shows which will see the band joined by cult favourites The Paradox Twin –
